Cycling: Training Tour de France stage 5 / Team Sky

The Tour de France will hit nine pave sectors in stage 5, running from Ypres to Arenberg Porte du Hainaut. GC contenders like Chris Froome (Sky) are unlikely to win the Tour that day, but they could certainly lose it. Both Sky and Omega Pharma-Quickstep hit the stones on Monday for a bit of recon.
